There are mattresses, a small dresser, trash and broken down vehicle parked/abandoned at the northern trailhead on Dunn St. My neighbor says he saw a tent and campsite in the trail early this morning as well. I don't mind the squatter camping, but the excessive trash is unacceptable.
There is a tent in woods by light pole 125. I don’t know if anyone is staying in there or not.
Trash in yard, large pile of cans in back yard, tent (tarp) covering also- person possibly living in back yard. Please call to let Linda know what's going on.
While walking late last night (circa midnight) along the asphalt path around the parks, I noticed that someone had set up a small tent in the woods (last night, the tent was illuminated from within by the person's flashlight). It was just a few yards off the lower end of the path that cuts through the woods between Olcott and the Goat Farm areas, where the path bends (tent was off the outside of the corner) and comes into view of the small bridge over Jackson Creek. On previous nights, I've smelled a latrine odor in the same general area, so I doubt this was the first occurrence. Given that this is very near a popular wading stream and not far from the playground, I decided to report it.
People are camping at lower cascades as well as along the gravel area off of That Road which may be a county issue. However, the campers are spilling into the trail area. It is also starting to smell of sewage in this area as there has been a blue tent on the cliff above the trail for some time. This just off clear creek
I understand hands being tied with the homeless population but I find it very unnerving and scary that the tent campers next to transit are standing at the fence of the parking lot and peeing while the employees of transit are present and across the street where there is a park which could have children present…..I’m so upset that this is allowed to continue and I can’t walk into the office without being exposed to some random man
Hello - I live up the street from the B-line bridge that crosses over Grimes. What started as one tent has become a full-blown camp, and the conditions have caused me to feel unsafe using that portion of the B-line trail. The last time I used the bridge the urine smell was quite strong and there was a man having a bad trip outside the encampment. We've been awoken by yelling and general disturbance from members of the camp and their dogs, and the general disturbance has caused me and several neighbors with kids to not use that portion of the B-line (not using the Switchyard Park playground and dog park, or driving there instead of walking). It's reached a point that we're uncomfortable - I hope I don't sound unsympathetic to their situation. I don't have a good solution either!
The bridge over Patterson Drive at the B-Line now has become a tent city, can you please do something. I do not feel safe even driving by here and this morning I saw a little child outside of the tents living.
Bridge at grimes and walnut has multiple tents set up. There is also a lot of trash and debris from the tent areas.
Significant trash on far east side of Clear Creek trail (lot of areas near encampments). I support people being allowed to lawfully camp but the City simply looking the other way in this location is not working. Give a legal right to camp but people are literally living there with substantial encampment items beyond a tent with sanitation and other issues. For now, please cite property owners or have Parks get the trash cleaned up that is sprawling everywhere beyond where the individuals are living. Thank you.
